Tyree Guyton: Short FilmMartos Gallery presents a digital re-screening of a documentary about the amazing Detroit outsider artist Tyree Guyton. The short film screening is introduced by actor, author, collector, and activist Hill Harper, Guyton created the visionary environment known as the Heidelberg Project. Introduction: "Hill Harper Art Basel OVR:20c" by Martos Gallery, 2020 Having grown up on Heidelberg Street and witnessed the tragic effect of the Detroit riots as a child, Tyree Guyton (b. 1955) set about cleaning up the decaying area with the help of his grandfather Sam Mackey, his former wife Karen, and neighbourhood children. In 1986, using the refuse they collected, Guyton began to transform the street into a massive open-air environment. Documentary: "Come Unto Me, The Faces of Tyree Guyton", produced by Nicole Cattell (1999) In constant battle with the authorities since beginning his project, Guyton continues to decorate abandoned buildings, vacant lots and pavements with all manner of discarded objects such as shoes, toys and old bicycles. His own paintings and messages cover the area, as well as the brightly painted polka dots that have become the trademark of the Heidelberg Project. Tyree Guyton's Heidelberg Project Through his art, Guyton highlights the problems of poverty and urban ghettos, aiming to save forgotten neighbourhoods and inspire people to use art as a means to enrich their environment.
